発達した積乱雲で上昇気流を伴う高速の渦巻きが発生し、それが地上付近にまで伸びたもの

AI overview

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the ground up to a cloud base, often visible as a funnel with swirling debris and dust. Tornadoes matter because they can be dangerous and destructive—while most are relatively small and short-lived, the most extreme ones can produce very high wind speeds and cause significant damage over large areas.

竜巻(たつまき、英語、ドイツ語、スペイン語:Tornado)は、積乱雲の下で地上から雲へと細長く延びる高速な渦巻き状の上昇気流。トルネードとも呼ばれる。ハリケーンや台風と混同されやすいが、それらとは全く異なる。 竜の字があてられることが一般的であるが、1930年代の新聞記事では旧字体を用いて龍巻とする例も見受けられる。
